How to connect
SourceMedium connects to Skio with a single API key that you generate in Skio and paste into SourceMedium.You connect data sources yourself in SourceMedium. Sign in to your SourceMedium account, open your store, then in the Data sources section click Connect data source and choose the platform. You need an Editor or Admin role on the store. If you have view-only access, ask an admin or editor on your team to connect it.Once it is connected, what happens next covers first-sync timing and what each connection status means.
1
Generate an API key in Skio
In your Skio dashboard, go to API & Integrations → API. Enter a name (for example SourceMedium) and click Generate API key. You can view the key only once, so copy it immediately. See Skio’s guide: Using the Skio API.
2
Add the key in SourceMedium
Find Skio in the connector picker and click Connect. Paste the API key and click Connect.
3
Confirm it is connected
SourceMedium checks the key with Skio before saving it, so a wrong key is rejected on the spot. The connection reads Awaiting first data until the first sync lands, then Connected.
SourceMedium only ever reads from your connected platforms. It does not create, change, or delete anything, so create the key with read-only access wherever the platform offers it. Treat it like a password: keep it confidential and avoid sharing it over email or in spreadsheets. If the credential is rotated or revoked, follow this guide’s connection method to update SourceMedium.
Paste the key itself, without any prefix.
